When a team gets stalled with a heavy load and tbe driver usee every means of persuasion, from the whip to bad language, to urge the horses to start the wagon, nearly every passer­ by has a feeling o f sympathy for the animals and a desire to caution the driver against cruelty. A more prac­ tical thought than these has entered the miud of a Missourian, resulting In tbe Invention of a fiimple apparatus, which can be carried on every wagon for use In emergency of this kind. In­ stead of “ putting his shoulder to the wheel” the driver w ill get out his wrench, secure It lo position and ex­ ert his strength at the end o f the long 1 ‘ ' I II* . m SJT IT-**' «g l w • tèff fe-' fc"*- '’*■ ASSISTS TEAK WI TH A M A T T LOAD. lever, lifting and rolling the wheel out o f the rut or up the grade. The ar­ rangement consists o f a pair o f hook members, which engage tbe hub and are adjustably secured to the arms piv­ oted to the lifting lever. The latter has a tilting shoe, which engages the face of the wheel as pressare Is exert­ ed on the level. The device w ill fit any diameter o f wheel by loosening the cams which connect the arms with the hooks, and adjusting tbe latter at the proper length. By placing the hook ends on the ground and the* cud o f the lever beneath the axle this device can also be used as a wagon jack td re­ place the one which teamsters usually carry. ’s A T h in s t o Do. Another thing we general farmers ought to do, and that Is set out'm ore forest trees. Did yon notice the story o f that old walnut bridge in Indiana that a certain company wanted so bad­ ly that they were w illing to pot up a good steel bridge in the place o f It? The wood, they thought, would be worth more than the steel bridge. And the men who controlled the walnut bridge refused the offer. Now, this state o f affairs is likely to continue. Our forests are vanishing, and unless you and I, the general farmers o f the country, get right down to business and plant trees the day Is near at hand when fencing and building material w ill be worth almost as much as gold. Every farm ought to be turned into a little forestry station. W e can easily get the seeds o f such trees as are In­ digenous to our locality and plant them. Tim e w ill do the rest, and some day the world w ill thank us for doing what we did.—Up-to-Date Fanning. H a rn ess f o r U n r n ly Bow. There are several devices for over­ coming the proclivities o f some swine to eat their young, bnt none o f them better t h a n the m e t h o d shown in the 111 n stration, which consists In making a harness and attaching It to the animal in such a . man­ ner that she muzzle fok Poi.T pio . can not get It o il. A t the same time this harness gloes not prevent the animal from eat­ ing slop or shelled grains. Little ex­ planation Is necessary about this har- The Mythical Corn W h ea t Tbs Department o f Agriculture at Washington reports that an enormous number o f letters see being received, from farmers In aH parts o f the coun­ try, asking for definite Information concerning a so-called new grain des­ ignated as “ corn w h ea t” Samples for trial, are aaked by moat o f these In­ quirers. The .department saya that these letters are obviously the'result of widely published untruthful news­ paper articles. The department au­ thorizes the statement that there la no such thing as “ corn wheat,” and that It is not probable corn and wheat can talnty, If they were, that the hybrid would not be fertile. The grain which has caused the furor, the department says, Is known correctly as Polish wheat, although the grain Is not a na­ tive of Poland, as the name suggests. Its original home Is In the Mediterran­ ean region- The heads and grains of this wheat are very large, the grains being, In many cases, twice as large as those o f ordinary w h eat The state­ ment that it ylelda from sixty, to 100 bushels per acre, howeyer, Is an ex­ aggeration, although there m ay be In­ stances in Idaho and Washington, where the ordinary wheat yield Is large, where the crop may be sixty or seventy bushels per acre. The experiments made by the de­ partment with the Polish wheat have generally shown that the yield la dis­ appointing. The new wheat has been grown, except experimentally, In but few places In this country. From .the experiments so far made the Inference la that the grain may be very good as a hog food. Bnt Polish wheat Is much restricted In Its adaptability,, and, the department says, cannot be successful­ ly grown anywhere east o f tbe Missis­ sippi River, but only tn the great plains region in Wàshington, Montana, Idaho and the other parts o f the P a­ cific States where the grain is grown. O n ion C n ltn re P r o fita b le . Onion growers are feeling more hopeful over the prospects than fo r a number o f years back, for the pros- * _yr^ pect la for good jC lL ** prices fo r several years ahead. W hile M B ' j! there ,s llttle chance m i '. prices w ill reach V f i i J u n iOK* the figures of twenty m k L J J m m years ago, when on- ion growing was so profitable* the pros- souTntoBT. pects are, at least, encouraging. One o f the best classes of onions for profit is the Southport Globe, illustrated herewith. The im­ proved strain o f glebe onions was given the name Southport, and both the white and yellow sorts are su­ perior to the old globe varieties. The red Southport does w ell In many sec­ tions, but is not so reliable as the red Weatherfleld. Both the white and yellow Southports are o f good size, most attractive In appearance and are excellent keepers. Both are also late sorts and heavy ylelders. The South- port Globes are w ell worthy o f atten­ tion on the part o f onion-growers. More S h o u ld e r « f o r W o r k B o n c a The heavy work season o f the farm nearly always occasions galled or sore shoulders o f work horses. Here is a simple and cheap way to prevent this: “ Take an ordinary sweat pad and cover the surface next to the shoulder with white soft oilcloth. Be very care­ ful to have It put on very smooth, without any wrinkles or lumps on Its surface. The cover Is put on by neat­ ly sewing It with strong thread, so that it w ill not become displace^. The trouble with the horses’ shoulders In thi* respect Is caused by sweating, and ns,the F a r m N o te «. For a good grafting wax take four pounds rosin, one pound beeswax, one pint linseed oil. Put into an Iron ket­ tle and heat slowly, stirring thorough­ ly until all is well mixed. Ponr the whole mass into cold water and pull by hand until it assumes a light golden color. Make Into sticks and put in a cool place until required for use. Grafting w ax never comes amiss, and It always pays to keep It on hand. In case o f Injury to a, tree at any time It la .valuable. “ As 1 entered the d e s t i^ s office,” said a woman the other day»~“ l saw a man sitting lu a chair rocking vio­ lently and. with a wild look 1 of misery written oa every feature.

T o begin with, women always yield to the influence of an anaesthetic more easily than men do, possibly because they are not so strong-willed. Any­ way, women make better patients. They are less trouble and1 so afraid of. pain or even of death. > “ Tn almost every case I have had the women rather weteouae chloroform, although almost all of them fight ether, and I don’t blame them.

He then spoke to me. saying that he would Fe ready In a few minutes. When I turned I found the nurse bed gone. “ Uiually I am not in a hurry to get Into a dentist’s chair, but, being a woman and a curious one at that, waa anxious to bear what that man had said or done when under the Influence o f the anaesthetic. . “ ’Did you notice that man?” asked tbe dentist as he carefully filled my month with cotton. I tried to look i i Intelligent as my gaping mouth would let me. ‘ He has just taken gas to have s nerve killed sad taken ofit,’ continued the doctor. ‘ When be was returning to consciousness he pulled a great roll of bills out of hi* pocket and Insisted upon throwing them all over the place, giving them to everybody he met In the halls and acting generally as a mil­ lionaire philanthropist gone mad.
